The small house for the swineherd, who lived with the pigs in the forest at the time of acorn fattening, was built around 1748 in the Wiedensahler Forest. A stable for the livestock was built right next to it. Wilhelm Busch immortalized it in his drawings. While the shepherd's house remained at its old location and in its original form, the stable was moved to a meadow in 1908. It initially served as a pasture stable, but today there is a small sawmill there.

In the past, pigs were driven into the forest to fatten. The swineherd's house from 1748 is still in its original location. The shepherds found shelter here. The small house with two rooms is in good condition and can be explored. Unfortunately, the fire has already been ignited inside...
